Re: Nog VS Cain

Here we go again

I hijacked my own thread!

How much talent does THAT shit take?!

Skills, SPX has them.

Re: Nog VS Cain

Anyway, lets get back to this...........

Anyone worried about Nog with all these staph infections (see zombie Nog), possibly affecting him in this one. Cain sets one hell of a pace. I know he wont finish Nog, but I dont think him out working him, and staying out of subs is out of the question.

Re: Nog VS Cain

I think it could go either way, but the "I like Nog at -145" part of me says that this is a child fighting a man. Cain's had a total of 7 MMA fights with his best wins coming over groundgame-clueless Kongo and journeyman Rothwell.

Could this be Cain's coming out party? Sure. But this fight could also put him in his place, where he is forced to learn that he is not yet ready to fight legends in this sport.

The only reason I aint betting him.

Re: Nog VS Cain

He'll have to be much more conservative with his ground and pound. He doesn't want to give Nog the kind of space he was giving Rothwell.

I think this fight really comes down to can Cain stay out of submissions. Nog will likely beat him up standing, and Cain will be forced to go for the takedown, which he will definitely get.

Re: Nog VS Cain

Personally I like Cain and may bet him.

NOG looked like shit against Mir ,Silvia and Herring.

He looked great against Couture but I think that was more of Couture being that much on the decline than NOG looking good

NOG wont be able to push around Cain like he did Couture. Of coure Cain has a weak chin and could get caught like he did the few times against Kongo.

I'm betting Cain or nothing

Re: Nog VS Cain

I wish this was Nog vs Carwin with Carwin at Cain's odds.

I would jump on Carwin like he was a $5 whore.

Did you miss the Kongo fight ? Cain got rocked many ,many times while they were standing in that fight from what I remember. Had the fight stayed on their feet Kongo would have destroyed Cain

Re: Nog VS Cain

No I didn't miss it. That's the fight I base this on. And he dropped him twice. The first punch he hit him with I think would have KO'd a fucking rhino. His head spun around and he barely hit a knee and was right back in it, even slammed him afterwards.



Seriously, imagine that punch hitting guys like Couture or Mir. They would've turned into a puddle right on the spot.

Re: Nog VS Cain

I don't know, man. It was a hard punch, but Kongo was in the middle of backpedaling when he threw the first one. I don't think it was full force.

No it's definitely a power punch. He's backpedaling then plants his feet and throws that short right. Most MMA fighters don't have the technique to do that. Plus Cain ran right into it. Besides, all you need to see that it was powerful is that his head spun around like that. That's what knocks you out. And he didn't go out. Hence, great chin.

Re: Nog VS Cain

Well he either has a weak stand up defense or a weak chin ,either one is not great to have with someone that has good boxing skills that NOG does.

This is the only reason I'm not 100% I'm taking Cain or not

Oh no argument, his standup defense blows monkey nuts.
